Replicate ServiceNow data in PostgreSQL
in 3 simple steps
Perspectium provides an integration-as-a-service solution, managing both the initial setup and ongoing maintenance.
With deep expertise in the ServiceNow platform, we ensure a rapid implementation, delivering fast time-to-value for your organization.
After installation, users can define rules to automatically replicate data when it meets specific, user-defined conditions to enable real-time data replication.
Additionally, users have the option to set up bulk data transfers using condition-based filters, or manually select the data they wish to replicate.
Once set up, Perspectium DataSync replicates data dynamically, according to the user's schedule and even on-demand.
Users can track the status of transfers with receipts, and any failed transfers can be quickly re-shared. Additionally, a comprehensive activity log is available directly within the ServiceNow platform for easy monitoring.
How DataSync Connects ServiceNow to PostgreSQL
Our innovative data replication method ensures exceptional throughput.
With DataSync, users can replicate more than 20 million records daily, all while maintaining optimal ServiceNow performance.
DataSync offers a straightforward solution for integrating ServiceNow with PostgreSQL. Developed by Perspectium, a ServiceNow partner, the data replication tool transfers ServiceNow data to PostgreSQL environments, either in bulk or dynamically.
What sets DataSync apart from other ServiceNow data replication tools is its ability to handle massive data volumes without impacting the performance of ServiceNow.
This is achieved through push technology - as opposed to API - that sends data to a message broker system (MBS), from which target systems can securely retrieve the data.
Traditional ETL/ELT processes and the ServiceNow REST API often struggle with frequent requests and large datasets. DataSync bypasses these methods, delivering a high-throughput solution capable of replicating over 20 million records per day without slowing down ServiceNow.
Why Connect ServiceNow and PostgreSQL?
The Challenge
While ServiceNow offers a robust suite of features, including reporting, analytics, and even AI/ML capabilities, these functionalities can be limited compared to specialized, purpose-built solutions.
But because extracting data from ServiceNow can be difficult, organizations can struggle to get their ServiceNow data into such purpose-built solutions.
The Solution
DataSync bridges the gap by enabling seamless integration between ServiceNow and PostgreSQL, allowing users to easily replicate various types of data—such as records, comments, and attachments—out of the platform.
With support for both bulk and dynamic data replication, DataSync offers users flexibility in how they transfer data. Large volumes can be transferred in batches, while dynamic replication automatically pushes records that meet user-defined criteria.
By replicating ServiceNow data into PostgreSQL, organizations gain enhanced control and accessibility over their data.
This allows for easier integrations with a wide range of third-party solutions, enabling powerful use cases in areas like analytics, business intelligence, reporting, AI, and machine learning, all while preserving ServiceNow’s performance.
Connecting ServiceNow and PostgreSQL provides organizations with greater control of, and access to their ServiceNow data.
